The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has opened its portal for institutions to upload names of shortlisted applicants for the 2020/2021 admission.
While disclosing this on Tuesday January 5, 2021, Registrar of JAMB, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, said all admission processes must go through the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) for approval.
It noted that only qualified candidates as recommended by their institutions for admission will be approved by the board.
He added that CAPS has been opened for the conduct of this year’s admission.
He also said most institution, particularly private had commenced admission.
The registrar, however, added that public universities were yet to fully kick-start the process partly because they are yet to conclude admissions for last year.
Prof Oloyede said, “Take note also that admission is not just for universities. There are polytechnics and colleges of education and except for the closure because of COVID-19, they are not affected by the strike.”
He also said a date had not been fixed for the sale of this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) forms.
